(LOT 11)
1909-11 T206 Ty Cobb Green Portrait Piedmont 150 Subjects/25 SGC 3 VG

GREEN TYRUS!!! One of our hobby's most illustrious cards continues to be Ty Cobb's regal T206 Green Portrait subject, with a PSA 8 Green Portrait Cobb fetching a staggering $435,000 price tag in December 2020! Of the four T206 Cobb issues, the most treasured subject has always been the Ty Cobb Green Portrait pose portraying Carl Horner's timeless Cobb image, presented here in an eye-pleasing SGC 3 holder. The iconic Cobb image reveals a rich green background encompassed by four relatively clean borders, with the illustration favoring the upper right edges. No glaring flaws are evident, with the grade primarily due to even corner wear actually revealing an eye-pleasing uniformity and some areas of toning on the Piedmont 150 Subjects ad back. A truly regal offering, this legendary image seems to transcend time back to a by-gone era when the Georgia Peach ruled America's pastime!

MIN BID $2,000
